kind of a moot point since ubi announced sh5 is a type VII only game

i actually prefer the type VII C myself but i tend to like anything that has lots of fish

BulSoldier · 01-20-10, 04:47 PM

Im diveded between VII and IX. So cant really say but i guess ill vote for VII

mookiemookie · 01-20-10, 04:48 PM

Give me the sun drenched Caribbean and the exotic port of Freetown in my spiffy Type IX.

Mikhayl · 01-20-10, 04:49 PM

Not moot, on the contrary, several members are criticizing Ubi/the devs for their choice and implying that this would turn down a great number of customers. Maybe they're right, maybe not, as the Type VII is often perceived as the most popular, I'd think most people won't actually care about the other boats. So here's a poll to get a slightly better idea

Ones that are maintained as museum pieces only.

My favorite sub is obviously a Gato or Balao, always has been, always will be. However, given their absence, well... S'cuse me while i dig up a fossil........

Type 7. Which, I am pressed to add, does not mean I have no interest in playing other types.

Adriatico · 01-20-10, 04:57 PM

Right question is - which u-boat played the main role in Atlantic campaign ? VIIc , of course...

JScones · 01-20-10, 06:13 PM

I'm quite partial to the VIIC.

HundertzehnGustav · 01-20-10, 06:14 PM

IX/B for life!

bigboywooly · 01-20-10, 06:21 PM

IX
Always started my war in Dec 39 when could get a IXB - as no IX ingame - type 2 for those small coastal patrols
Prolly the last boat I would ever pick is the type 7

Terragon · 01-20-10, 06:23 PM

Love the type II boats. "Little engine that could" mentality.

IXB, Type VII, electro-boat.

Carotio · 01-20-10, 06:24 PM

I voted IX, but really I like it this way, roughly speaking:

1939: IIa + IId
1940: VIIb + VIIc + VIIc41
1941: VIIc41 + IXb
1942: IXb + IXc
1943: IXc + IXc40
1944: IXc40 + IXd2
1945: IXd2 + XXI

Hartmann · 01-20-10, 06:29 PM

Type IX-b and IX-C for long range, speed, and ammo reloads, also i love big fleet boats too since SH1.
